Abstract

Bryophytes are a group of plants that include mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Mosses may be small, but they may also be as complex as flowering plants. They have stems with leaves, and there is just about as much variation in the form and size of these plants as there is in the flowering plants. The objective of the study was to identify the collected species of mosses found on selected mountains in Camiguin Island. Survey of mosses was conducted in Mt. Hibok-hibok and Mt. Timpoong, Camiguin Province, Philippines. As a result, the author identified 37 species of Camiguin mosses belonging to 24 genera of which two species are new records for the Philippines namely: Radulina lavei-hamata (Dix.) B. C. Tan and Clastobryopsis planula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch. Ex-situ and in-situ conservation and protection must be continuously done of the two Mountains. Keywords: mosses, new record, Camiguin, Mt. Hibok-hibok, Mt.Timpoong, Philippines
